NK nuclear proliferation

No American President (Democrat or Republican) has been able to eliminate North

Korea’s nuclear weapons or rollback its nuclear weapons program.
 Why did Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump all fail to denuclearize North Korea
despite pursuing, in some cases, quite different strategies?
 If you were President Biden and your goal were to stop North Korea from
developing any more weapons, including the missile technology necessary to fire a
missile at the continental US, what strategy would you pursue toward Kim Jong-
un and why?
 How likely do you believe this strategy is to work and why?
